This
fall Oberlin takes Manhattan, the other boroughs of New York, Connecticut,
and New Jersey when three Young Artists Showcase programs featuring
the Oberlin Conservatory of Music are broadcast on WQXR,
the classical music radio station of The New York Times. The Young
Artists Showcase, which is sponsored by the McGraw Hill Companies,
airs on 96.3 FM in the tri-state area and at wqxr.com on the Internet.
Oberlin will be center stage when host Bob Sherman kicks off the program's 26th season on Wednesday, October 9, at 9 p.m. with Manuel de Falla's Three-Cornered Hat, Suite No. 2, performed by the Oberlin Orchestra, with guest conductor Kevin Noe, in Finney Chapel on April 14, 2002.

Harpist Nuiko Wadden '02 will be featured on Wednesday, October 30 at 9 p.m. with the post-cadenza finale from her performance of Alberto Ginastera's Concerto for Harp, Op. 25, a work from the same April Oberlin Orchestra concert. The broadcast will include a performance Wadden gave with flutist Eric Lamb '00 and violist Wendy Richman '02 of Claude Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp. The trio performed and recorded the Debussy at Chicago's Music in the Loft in January 2002.
